I am building a new desktop computer. I will be using 128GB of RAM. I know that is a lot, I am not interested in explaining why I need it. My question is how I should plan this out. I have 8 ports for RAM, Should I buy 8 16GB RAM sticks or one 128 GB stick. Other variances of 128 GB are also an option. However, I am basicly wanting to know if its better to spread it all out or consolidate. Thanks! Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I use 2 GPUs on a machine (GTX770), and I have 2 screens coected to the 2 outputs (DVI1 and DVI2). I CANNOT decide to plug a screen on one GPU and the other on the other GPU (for good reasons... ;-) ). Let's name MS the main screen: the end-user interact with it. Let's name TS the other screen (technical screen, which is used by our system for technical stuff). My issue: when the system boot (Linux version 3.1.9-1.4-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.6.2 (SUSE Linux) ), sometime the keel boot messages are displayed on MS, some other time, they are displayed on TS. I want they are always displayed on MS, because when the boot fails, I can't afford the user being in front of a black scre...

I installed Gnucash on my Mac OS X El Capitan, but I'm having problems with titles and headings on the interface and reports. By following the advice on here https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_get_I_rid_of_strange_unreadable_characters_or_adjust_the_font_size I've managed to get rid of the problem on the interface and the headings on reports, but the problem still affects the titles of reports (see image below).

I need a small script to download some programs. The URL's never change but the files do. Like when you download malwarebytes. Example: "https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/" The address doesnt change but the file name downloaded does. Every script i see, requires that you specify a file name. I dont want to do that, I want the script to pull the filename from the sites header which would include the version name of that file in that filename. I cant seem to find any way of doing this. Please help me o wonderful smart people. It needs to work on any version of Windows 7 and up. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have been searching around and comparing specifications to build a budget gaming PC. On the Intel site, i have been comparing CPUs and I noticed that the I3 CPUs, while only having 2 physical cores as usual, have 4 threads, meaning that they are hyper threaded. But with the I5 CPUs on the other hand, they have 4 physical cores and 4 threads, meaning that they are not hyper threaded, which is kinda weird for intel to hyper thread the I3s and I7s but not the I5s. As common knowledge, virtual cores (made by hyper threading) are of course, less powerful than physical cores. but the I3 CPUs also have significantly more clock speed, with the I3 CPUS varying between 3.3 and 3.9 GHz, and the I5 CP...

Is it possible to batch rename a series of files and keep the original extensions in a sequence? For example, if you had the files in a directory: dogfile1.jpg, wolffile493.png, and dogfile59.jpg and wanted to rename them: dog1.jpg, dog2.png, dog3.jpg I saw you can use this to batch rename but it renames it to the extension you select (ex. jpg): $nr=1 Dir | %{Rename-Item $_ -NewName (‘NewFile{0}.jpg’ -f $nr++)} Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am using a spreadsheet that contains constant data; I would like to be able to populate the cells on another spreadsheet with this data when a condition is true. I.e. The target spreadsheet is used to prepare estimates. When the user selects a predefined price quote from the spreadsheet containing the constant data, I would like to move this data to the Estimate Spreadsheet. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Jamie Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I miss the one-click-snippingtool of Win7. In my attempt to reproduce that readiness-to-snip in Win10, I let a batch file launch snippingtool at Windows boot, so that when I want to use it, I just click on NEW in the open snippingtool. That works brilliantly only ONCE, because, once used, the snippingtool window closes. The context menu of the snippingtool icon in the open snippingtool window includes 'pin to desktop', but even if that is clicked, snippingtool still closes after first use. So now I am on the hunt for a technique that will either KEEP snippingtool open, or automatically relaunch it after use. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I run a ubuntu nas with raid6, mdstat does not indicate that anything is wrong, but when i try to read files on the raid volume, i am only able to read about 1/4 of the file, and the file transfer fails/freezes. I have tried multiple ways of reading files on the array (copy, ftp, http lamp server, but it always fail. The same happens to every file i try to read. The raid array have been ruing for months with no problems, and i cant seam to find what is wrong. I hae also done a memory test which found no errors. Could this be dead harddrives that have not been detected by mdadm? Here is the output of mdstat: Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10...

I'm trying to create a Powershell script that watches a folder for new MP3 files and converts them to M4A format using FFMPEG and FDK AAC encoder. Since fdkaac.exe won't take MP3 files as input, I use this command, which pipes from ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i $path -f caf - | fdkaac -p5 -b64 - -o $outfolder$outname.m4a This works just fine if I enter it into a command prompt and the resulting M4A file that's generated has no problems. However if I run this from Powershell, the M4A file is created but contains nothing but unpleasant white noise (and very faint traces of music). An ideas why that is so? Here's the Powershell script if it helps: ### SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YE...

I have a Transcend USB 3.0 SD and MicroSD card reader. When I plug it in, it won't show up in the windows 7 file explorer, but it shows up properly in DiskPart and device manager in windows 7 which says it is operating properly. I Caot access any files on any SD card placed in the adapter. I have another old SD adapter that works fine, but I want to replace it with the non-functioning adapter. It used to work fine when i first got it, So the problem is most likely Windows file explorer. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Yes, proof UPS,FEX ED, and etc all use them. QRcode are simple patte of binary values either a 1(black) or 0(white) and that is it. The squares can be bigger or smaller, but you still have a 2 digit alphabet. There are no different fonts,styles, or anything. Also because they are so uniform sizes can be auto-detected. They also built-in error checking which is never done,sure spell check can help on text but sometimes it also causes errors, with individual letters when typing or handwriting. If the checksum doesn't balance you read the code wrong, try again. Most QRcode also have alignment squares to make sure the computer rotates them into near perfect alignment before reading them.
